The person who appeared before Asada Shino was naturally that insidious scoundrel who had posted on the campus network about her shooting a bank robber when she was a child.
Shinkawa Kyouji.
Asada Shino felt sick when she saw this person, when she saw his smile.
The extreme disgust made the girl's delicate body tremble.
Shinkawa Kyouji, however, said with a gentle smile:
"Asada-classmate, it's really good to see you're okay."
"You haven't answered my calls or replied to my messages these past few days, and I thought something had happened to you."
Asada Shino's face grew even uglier as she listened to his concerned words.
If she hadn't learned the truth from Mu-kun, she really wouldn't have been able to believe that this person, who spoke to her in a gentle tone, was the culprit who had put her in her current state of being isolated by all her classmates.
Taking a deep breath, Asada Shino tried her best to calm down.
She didn't intend to expose this person's true colors.
On one hand, she was relatively timid and feared that if she exposed Shinkawa, this guy would do something irrational to her.
On the other hand, Shinkawa Kyouji knew her weakness.
That weakness where she would become weak and lifeless, with vacant eyes, whenever she saw the gun that had killed the robber!
So, thinking of this, Asada Shino secretly dialed Lin Mu's number on her phone behind her back, while forcing a smile:
"I'm fine, thanks for your concern."
"Shinkawa-classmate, if there's nothing else, I'm going home. I'm a bit tired from work today."
Shinkawa Kyouji looked at Asada Shino's forced and perfunctory smile and felt his heart shatter. 913
From the moment he first saw Asada Shino, he thought she was so cool.
Especially after learning that she had actually shot and killed an adult man, a bank robber, when she was a child, his admiration for Asada Shino became uncontrollable.
That Asada, who unceremoniously took other people's lives, was the person he recognized!
For this, he deliberately publicized Asada Shino's story through the campus network, wanting everyone to know about her heroic deeds.
However, this instead led to Asada Shino being feared by everyone and isolated.
At first, Shinkawa Kyouji felt guilty, but then he realized that this was a good opportunity for him to get close to her!
So he pretended to be a warm guy, showing concern for Asada Shino, who was isolated by everyone, and even got extorted by Endo and a few others with her a few times.
Of course, this was all his design, with the goal of having shared experiences with Asada Shino to gain her trust.
But these past few days, the three Endos had disappeared.
Asada Shino also stopped contacting him; her calls went unanswered, and her messages were unreturned.
He clearly saw her at school, but she didn't greet him, just walked with her head down.
And by hacking into the surveillance camera at her door, Shinkawa Kyouji saw a pair of men's shoes!
This time, he couldn't hold back anymore.
In his eyes, Asada Shino was already his possession; how could he let another man defile her?
So, today he decisively appeared before her.
With a gentle smile, Shinkawa Kyouji seemed to ignore her forced smile and continued, "Asada-classmate, (bdab) I have something important to tell you. Can I come over to your place for a bit?"
Asada Shino instinctively tightened her grip on the phone behind her back and instinctively refused.
"Sorry, Shinkawa-classmate, it's not very convenient today."
Shinkawa Kyouji lowered his head, his face grim.
Suddenly, he looked up, staring intently at Asada Shino with a fervent gaze.
"Asada-classmate, no... Shiina, why are you shutting me out? Is it because you already have another man, right?"
"No!" Asada Shino's mind instinctively conjured Lin Mu's face when she heard this, and her cheeks immediately flushed red as she instinctively shook her head in denial.
She and Mu-kun hadn't reached that level of intimacy yet.
And she also had to consider Student Shiina's feelings.
Shinkawa Kyouji looked at Asada Shino's slightly flustered, shy, and adorable appearance, and instantly exploded in anger.
"Liar!"
"Asada-classmate, that man's shoes are already at your door! How can you still deny it?"
"Ah, I understand, Shiina. It's because I've been too lenient with you that you've become so reckless and gotten involved with another man, isn't it? I won't allow it!"
Shinkawa Kyouji's crazed expression and violent tone made Asada Shino instinctively step back.
"Shinkawa, what are you talking about?"
"What am I talking about? That man must have already touched you, right? Shiina-chan, you're mine! Only I can touch you!"
Shinkawa Kyouji said, pulling out a model gun from behind him, "Shiina-chan, look at this, the thing you're most familiar with! The treasure used to take human lives!"
"No... don't!" Asada Shino's eyes widened, and she slumped to the ground weakly.
He really pulled out that identical model gun to threaten her!
Asada Shino's delicate body trembled, and she instinctively curled up, repeatedly saying no.
Although she tried hard to overcome it, the moment she saw that familiar gun, the bloody scene of killing the robber made her hands and feet cold and left her feeling powerless.
Shinkawa Kyouji showed a triumphant expression, "Haha, I knew it. You love me. Only I know this weakness of yours. So, Shiina-chan, I won't be polite!"
"Let me cherish you properly. I'll make you realize that I am the man most suitable for you!"
After speaking, Shinkawa Kyouji rubbed his hands and moved closer, about to touch her.
However, a fist suddenly loomed large in his vision.
With a 'bang!', Lin Mu suddenly appeared and knocked Shinkawa Kyouji down with a single punch.
"Ah ah ah ah! So painful! Who are you! Damn it, don't hug her! Shiina-chan, she's mine!"
Shinkawa Kyouji clutched his face, got up from the ground, and glared furiously at Lin Mu.
Especially when he saw him pull Asada Shino into his arms, he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
Lin Mu sneered, "I am Asada's man. The shoes by her door are mine, so Asada belongs to me. Do you really think you're worthy of touching her?"
"It's you!"
"So it was you! Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"
Shinkawa Kyouji roared frantically, gripping his pistol and aiming it at Lin Mu.
Asada Shino stared blankly at the scene, then quickly threw herself at Lin Mu, shielding him.
With a 'bang!'
A bullet flew out; Shinkawa Kyouji's pistol was real!
However, the bullet didn't hit Asada Shino, who was blocking Lin Mu. Instead, Lin Mu precisely caught it between two fingers, using magic power.
With a flick, the bullet flew back, and amidst Shinkawa Kyouji's screams,
The bullet directly hit his groin.
That pain made Shinkawa Kyouji wail, roaring like a beast on the ground, then he began to foam at the mouth and passed out from the agony.
However, Lin Mu had no intention of letting him off so easily. He directly conjured a ball of dark flames, which landed on Shinkawa Kyouji.
Before the man could even wake up in pain and scream, the flames of judgment instantly reduced him to dust.
If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow again with the spring breeze.
Lin Mu would not let such a person go, and Shinkawa Kyouji was clearly a 'red name' full of evil.
From his revealed madness, he didn't seem like a normal person.
Instead, he was no different from a cultist.
While dealing with Shinkawa Kyouji, Lin Mu covered Asada Shino's eyes and whispered softly in her ear:
"Don't look, leave everything to me, it's alright... Shiina-chan."
"Mmm-hmm... Are you... are you okay? Were you shot?"
The moment Shinkawa Kyouji pulled the trigger, past memories flooded Asada Shino, making her realize his gun was real.
In her panic, she didn't think twice and threw herself at Lin Mu, wanting to shield him from the bullet.
This gesture was truly precious.
Lin Mu continued to cover her eyes and said softly, "It's alright, I wasn't shot."
"And I've already dealt with him. Shiina, don't open your eyes, or I'll be very troubled."
"Mmm! But... but..."
"No buts. Be a good girl, okay?"
"Mmm... I understand, I won't open my eyes."
Suppressing the flutter in her heart, she complied with his arrangement.
But in her heart, she wanted to cry.
This person had saved her again.
He even comforted her so gently, not allowing her to open her eyes and see the frightening scene.
At this moment, Asada Shino was completely captivated.
Lin Mu carried her, step by step, up the stairs to her room door.
"Shiina, where are the keys?"
"In my left coat pocket."
Taking out the key and opening the door, Lin Mu entered her small room and sat on the bed.
The girl nestled nervously in his arms, hesitated for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask:
"Mu-kun, can I open my eyes now?"
She naturally followed her heart, changing her original address of "Lin Mu" to the more intimate "Mu-kun."
"You can now, it's alright."
As Lin Mu's voice fell, the girl eagerly opened her eyes, then reached out her hands to feel him.
"Are you really not hurt? Let me see! That was a pistol, a bullet! Don't try to be strong!"
